Well Go USA has picked up the North American distribution rights to Tristes Tropiques, the latest action thriller from South Korean filmmaker Park Hoon-jung (New World, The Witch: Part 1, The Witch: Part 2, The Childe).
Tristes Tropiques revolves around a group of young assassins trained by a mysterious figure known as Master, who rules over a tropical rainforest. When Master suddenly turns up dead, the killers begin questioning one another, setting the stage for a deadly game of suspicion and betrayal.
The film features an ensemble cast led by Lee Sin young (Rebound), Park Yu rim (Drive My Car), Kim Myung min (Monstrum) and Park Hae soo (Yaksha: Ruthless Operations). Taiwanese actors Austin Lin (96 Minutes), Chen Yi Wen (The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon) and Wang Po Chieh (Eye of the Storm) also appear.
Tristes Tropiques is scheduled to open theatrically in South Korea on November 25, 2026. A release date from Well Go USA should be announced soon.
🔥 Footnote: The film’s action choreography is courtesy of martial arts director Kim Jeong-min (The Witch: Part 1, The Witch: Part 2), a frequent collaborator of Park Hoon-jung. Working alongside a local Thai stunt team, he helped bring the film’s brutal hand to hand combat and weapon sequences to life…
